At 19:30 on November 3, the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou City will play away against the league "leader" Wuhan Sanzhen, whether it can continue the momentum of the last four rounds of one win and three draws, depending on the back line can show hardness.
After Guangzhou City's 4-0 victory over Hebei, the "vice-champion", the team is only 2 points away from Wuhan Changjiang, the fourth from the bottom, and sees the dawn of relegation. What's good for the team is that Ye Chugui's form has gradually improved since his return from injury, and he scored twice in the last game. With Chang Feiya, Tang Miao and Gui Hong returning to the starting lineup, the overall strength of domestic players is steadily rising.
However, midfielder Chen Junle recently fell to the ground with a knee injury without confrontation during a turn to unload the ball at the end of the team's training session, and was diagnosed with a meniscus injury in his left knee, which will keep him out of the rest of Guangzhou City's matches this season.
On the other hand, two foreigners, Guilherme and Caldona, have been slow to open their scoring accounts, which has slowed down the team's relegation process to a certain extent. Let's see if they can be activated in the attacking end when they face the strong Wuhan Sanzhen in this game.
Wuhan Sanzhen has had its ups and downs, winning 2 and losing 3 of their last 5 matches, grabbing only 6 points, and the one-goal defeat against Chengdu Rongcheng in the last round of the league, which was a big blowout, has also changed the pattern of the Chinese Super League title race. Shandong Taishan's victory over Shanghai Seaport has brought them to within a point of Wuhan Sanzhen, who are currently leading the Super League table on goal difference only.
In order to keep the top spot, manager Pedro Morilla will definitely go all out and send his strongest starting lineup to the match. There are a number of former Guangzhou Evergrande players in the squad: goalkeeper Liu Dianzheng, center back Liu Yiming, midfielders He Chao, Gao Junyi and Deng Hanwen will all be given a chance to play if nothing else.
